          Hurricane Zigzags Up the Coast

          MIAMI. Sept. 3—Hurricane David breezed by popu-
          bus South Florida today, then headed up the seacoast,
          brushing the lavish mansions at Palm Beach and roaring
          inland at Cocoa Beach.
          There, south of the space-launch complex at Cape
          Canaveral, the fierce winds unrooled apartments and
          scattered house trailers along the shore.
          Behind David is tropical storm Frederic. east of
          Puerto Rico and heading northwest. Frederic was
          dropped from hurricane status after its winds dimin-
          ished from 80 miles an hour to 65.
          David's northward movement continued, and a hur-
          ricane watch was extended up the coasts of Georgia and
          South Carolina.
          Traffic lights came crashing down, a 25-foot sailboat
          was hurled onto the shore of Lake Worth, and thousands
          of area residents were without power. But property
          damage was reported moderate south of Palm Beach.
          Georgia officials urged evacuation of the barrier Is-
          lands, and civil defense authorities there opened euler-
          gency operation centers in several counties. The Florida
          National Guard assisted in the evacuation of all persons
          living in low-lying coastal areas of Volusia. St. John's
          and Flagler counties. near where the storm was headed
          as it tracked along the coastline.
          Officials at the National Hurricane Center here said
          the storm would continue northward and “be a threat,
          mayl)e to North Carolina,” within the next 48 hours.
          The South Florida death toll stood at five, largely tile
          result of traffic accidents and heart attacks related to
          preparations for tile storm, which at one point /s'as the
          mightiest hurricane spawned in the Caribbean in the
          20th century.
          1-lurricane David had leveled the tiny island of J)omin-
          ica and killed more than 600 in the Dominican Republic
          before turning toward Florida and aiming its 105-mile-
          an-hour winds directly at Miami.
          But at 5 a.iri. today. abruptly and without meteoro-
          logical explanation, David turned a bit to the north as
          it had twisted and turned before, veering off course
          from the coast of South Florida and the more than two
